“daily frontpages” and other needs

Hi,

I need a CMS for a daily online newspaper. I’ve looked at most of the options listed on opensourcecms.com and other sources. But I’ve found one that fit my needs. Do anyone know one that does?

– Have “daily frontpages”. One frontpage for 19th of March, one for 20th of March and so on. Each frontpage should be accessible even in the future. The newspaper publishes on issues each day, and we need to have them archieved.

– Let editors choose both what articles should be on the frontpage and in which order. Last 10 with newest first is not enough. We need to choose from older articles as well, and not have them in chronological order.

– Have different placements on the frontpage for different categories. We want a two column layout where News and it’s sub-categories runs in the left column, Features in the right.

– Have both caption and bylines to images.

– Have a datebase where we can store information about images (date, photographer and so on) and categorize them.

– Easily link to other articles in the database.

– Easily change alignment and size for images in articles.

– Password protect everything except the frontpage.

– Preview of both the individual articles and the “daily frontpages”.

Best bet so far seems to be Mambo, but it doesn’t do “daily frontpages” and is also a bit to complicated for the users. What of this can WP do?
